Football is a wonderful game of life. Why do I refer to it that way? Football is a game of numbers. Numbers and Mathematics control the world. Some people believe that Mathematics is the god that controls the world. Well everyone is entitled to his/her belief.
The world is controlled by numbers. We use numbers in virtually every facet of life. Isn't it amazing how everything about the internet and technologically related issues use numbers? Our network system uses numbers. The phone lines are numbers. Codes of all sorts are numbers. Numbers lock and open almost everything. Football is a game of numbers that is why I refer to it as a game of numbers. The players are in a specific number. The number of goals scored determines the winner. So I love football because it is a game of life.
I love football game because it is a game with a target. From The beginning of the game, the players know that the target is the goal post. They don't just kick the ball aimlessly. All the dribbling and running and skillful display is just to see how to have access to the goal post. So, football is a game that displays certain principles that control life.
Those points I have outlined are my personal reasons why I cherish football. I used to play football for fun when I was young. We usually went to the field in the evening after school hours to play the game. It used to be great fun. Playing football is very interesting both to the players and the spectators. We always enjoy football.
These days, I do not play football anymore. Age has taken a hold on me. But the love of football is still really strong in me. I delight in watching professional football. I wouldn't dare miss any of the teams I like. I suspend everything to go and watch the Chelsea team play whenever they have a match. In fact football viewing centers are my relaxation centers when football season is on.
Understanding the impact of football in the economy like that of Nigeria will bring a great blessing to the youths. Over 80% of our youths spend their time and money watching football. Football appeals to them. The government should take advantage of that and invest in the football sector to build a better economic experience for our lives. Football is my favorite game.
